Southerntrekker: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not responded to recent logs I am archiving it.

John Islip (b.1464) was Abbot of Westminster from 1500 until his death in 1532, one of the last pre-Reformation Abbots. He was responsible for adding his own Jesus chapel off the north ambulatory and finally completed the nave vaulting and glazed the west window of Westminster Abbey. The cache is set in the street named after him.
